Aggæi Prophetæ 1
1 in anno secundo Darii regis in mense sexto in die una mensis factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggei prophetae ad Zorobabel filium Salathihel ducem Iuda et ad Iesum filium Iosedech sacerdotem magnum dicens
In the second year of Darius the king, on the first day of the sixth month, this message from the Lord came through Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest:
2 haec ait Dominus exercituum dicens populus iste dicit nondum venit tempus domus Domini aedificandae
The Lord of hosts says: The people say that the time has not yet come to rebuild the temple of the Lord.
3 et factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggei prophetae dicens
Then this message from the Lord came to Haggai the prophet:
4 numquid tempus vobis est ut habitetis in domibus laqueatis et domus ista deserta
Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your own well-roofed houses, while this temple lies in ruins?
5 et nunc haec dicit Dominus exercituum ponite corda vestra super vias vestras
The Lord of hosts says: Consider your past experiences.
6 seminastis multum et intulistis parum comedistis et non estis satiati bibistis et non estis inebriati operuistis vos et non estis calefacti et qui mercedes congregavit misit eas in sacculum pertusum
You sow much, but bring in little; you eat, but you do not have enough; you drink, but are not filled; you clothe yourselves, but not enough to be warm; and those who earn wages, put those wages in a bag with holes.
7 haec dicit Dominus exercituum ponite corda vestra super vias vestras
The Lord of hosts says: Consider your experiences.
8 ascendite in montem portate lignum et aedificate domum et acceptabilis mihi erit et glorificabor dicit Dominus
Go up to the mountains, and bring wood and rebuild the temple; then I will be pleased with it, and I will reveal my glory. The Lord says:
9 respexistis ad amplius et ecce factum est minus et intulistis in domum et exsuflavi illud quam ob causam dicit Dominus exercituum quia domus mea deserta est et vos festinatis unusquisque in domum suam
You looked for much, and it came to little; and when you brought the harvest home, I blew it away. Why? The Lord of hosts says: Because my temple lies in ruins, while you shelter in your own houses.
10 propter hoc super vos prohibiti sunt caeli ne darent rorem et terra prohibita est ne daret germen suum
The heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit,
11 et vocavi siccitatem super terram et super montes et super triticum et super vinum et super oleum et quaecumque profert humus et super homines et super iumenta et super omnem laborem manuum
and I have called forth a drought upon the land and upon the mountains, and upon the grain and the new wine and the oil and upon that which the ground brings forth, and upon people and animals, and upon all the labor of your hands.
12 et audivit Zorobabel filius Salathihel et Iesus filius Iosedech sacerdos magnus et omnes reliquiae populi vocem Dei sui et verba Aggei prophetae sicut misit eum Dominus Deus eorum ad ipsos et timuit populus a facie Domini
Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Joshua the son of Jehozadak the high priest, with all the rest of the people, obeyed the command of the Lord their God and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him to them. They showed proper respect for the Lord.
13 et dixit Aggeus nuntius Domini de nuntiis Domini populo dicens ego vobiscum dicit Dominus
Haggai, the prophet of the Lord, as the Lord commanded him, told the people: ‘The Lord says: I am with you.’
14 et suscitavit Dominus spiritum Zorobabel filii Salathihel ducis Iuda et spiritum Iesu filii Iosedech sacerdotis magni et spiritum reliquorum de omni populo et ingressi sunt et faciebant opus in domo Domini exercituum Dei sui
And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people, so that they came and worked on the temple of the Lord of hosts, their God,
15 in die vicesima et quarta mensis in sexto mense in anno secundo Darii regis
in the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month. In the second year of Darius the king,
